• Contribute to Arrow/ADBC and other open-source specifications or implementations.
• Own CI, testing frameworks, profiling, error-reporting surfaces, and release readiness for Fusion adapters.
• Debug complex interoperability and performance issues across drivers, engines, and compute domains.
• Collaborate with internal and community maintainers to review pull requests, write RFCs, and evolve public code architectures.
• Mentor engineers on systems best practices and contribute to shared patterns around resilience, debuggability, and API clarity.

Requirements

• Strong programming background in Rust, Go, C++, or similar performance-oriented languages.
• Experience designing or maintaining SDKs, libraries, connectors, or compute/data integration codebases.
• Exposure to data warehouses, query engines, Arrow/columnar ecosystems, or execution runtimes.
• Desire to build foundational platform components that other teams and community members rely on.
• Comfort working in public code review loops, async-first communication, and collaborative RFC processes.
• Mindset grounded in debuggability, reliability, and ownership in ambiguous problem spaces.
• 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with strong systems-level skills.
• 2+ years working in open-source, SDK, runtime, or low-level integration environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience through industry open-source contributions.

Nice to Have

• Experience shaping adapter/plugin standards, driver contracts, or architectural interfaces used by others.
• Familiarity with Rust async ecosystems such as Tokio, Tower, and Tracing, or Go concurrency practices.
• Prior open-source governance experience, including issue triage, pull request reviews, or work with community maintainers.
• Interest in building developer-experience layers or scaffolding frameworks for adapter authors.
